摘要

We hypotesized that the #alpha#C-domain of human fibrinogen (residues hA#alpha#221-610) and of other species consists of a compact COOH-terminal region (hA#alpha#392-610) and a flexible NH_2-terminal connector region (hA#alpha#21-391) which may contain some regular structure [Weisel and Medved (2001) Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci. 936, 312-391]. To test this hypotesis, we expressed in E. coli recombinant fragments corresponding to the full-length human #alpha#224-568, bA#alpha#224-373, and bA#alpha#374-568(538), respectively, and tested their folding status by fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). All three methods revealed heat-induced unfolding transitions in the full-length bA#alpha#224-568 and its two COOH-terminal fragments, indicating that the COOH-terminal portion of the bovine #alpha#C-domain is folded into a compact cooperative structure. Similar results wre obtained by CD and DSC with the full-length and the COOH-terminal h392-610 human fragments. The NH_2-terminal fragments of both species, b224-373 and h221-392, did not exhibit any sign of a compact structure. However, their heat capacity functions, CD spectra, and temperature dependence of ellipticity at 222 nm were typical for peptides in the extended helical poly(L-proline) type II conformation (PPII), suggesting that they contain this tye of regular structure. This is consistent with the presence of proline-rich tnadem repeats in the sequence of both bovine and human connector regions. These results indicate that both ovine and human fibrinogen #alpha#C-domains consist of a compact globular cooperative unit attached to the bulk of the molecule by an extended NH_2-terminal connector region with a PPII conformation.
